NDS Dura Slope Ductile Iron Channel Grate

Product Details: NDS Dura Slope Ductile Iron Channel Grate

The NDS Dura Slope Trench Drain drainage system is a highly innovative and efficient solution for residential and non-residential drainage applications. With its construction using high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this drainage system offers durability and strength compared to traditional concrete channels. The lightweight and modular design of the system makes installation a breeze, saving time while reducing costs associated with freight and handling. The built-in slope of 0.7% optimizes flow rates, ensuring effective drainage for a wide range of drainage applications. The availability of neutral-sloped sections provides even greater flexibility. The NDS "ProFit" locking system is a major highlight of the NDS Dura Slope Trench Drain drainage system. This innovative locking mechanism securely locks the grate to the frame, providing essential support during installation. The DuraLoc integral joint lock is another key feature that prevents joint movement, ensuring a secure and stable trench drain system. The interlocking tongue and groove joints and bottom outlet in each channel section further enhance the system's stability and effectiveness. Not only is the NDS Dura Slope Trench Drain efficient and effective, but it also offers a sleek and attractive design. The smooth surface of the trench drain and the variety of grate options available make it an attractive option for residential and non-residential. It is also extremely easy to maintain, as the grates can be easily removed for cleaning and replacement if necessary. Whether you are a contractor, engineer, or building owner, the NDS Dura Slope Trench Drain drainage system is an investment worth making for long-lasting and effective drainage solutions.

Quick Look

• ADA Compliant
• Used for capturing and redirecting excess water to safe locations
• Dimensions: Length: 24" x Width: 6" x Height: 3/4"
• Material: Ductile Iron
• Dura Slope Channel and grates have been tested to the AASHTO M-306 and EN 1433 (DIN 1958) test methods by an independent AASHTO accredited lab
• Dura Slope Channel can make bends as small as a 30-degree radius using the Dura Slope Radius Couplings
• Install the channel drains in ascending numerical order, starting with the smallest part number. The part number sticker included on the channel drain indicates the segment number for both upstream and downstream installation
• The channel drain depth varies with the shallowest channel measuring 3.99" from the bottom of the grate to the flow line, and the deepest channel measuring 12.06" from the bottom of the grate to the flow line
• Interlocking tongue and groove joints for secure alignment and easy installation
• The fall in each sloped section of the Dura Slope channel is 0.34‚Äù. Each section comes with a built-in 0.7% slope. The neutral sections have flat bottoms
• For connection to 4" sewer and drain (SDR35) pipe, cut open the bottom drain outlet and insert NDS #DS126 Bottom Outlet Adapter. For 4-inch schedule 40 pipes, use NDS part #56-44 flexible coupling to connect the 4" pipe to the bottom drain of the channel. Ensure a secure connection by tightening the clamp
• Other-sized diameter pipes can be connected using the appropriate flexible coupling

• The screws included are used to secure the grates to the channel drain
• The maximum length run without the use of neutral sections is 96 feet. The use of one properly placed neutral section increases the maximum length run to 132 feet
• NDS DOES NOT recommend connecting more than 4 consecutive neutral segments together to allow for proper flow and prevent standing water in the channel
• Class D Load Rated (326-575)PSI
• 63.78 GPM
• H-20 Rated
